Add TACACS+ Servers (TACACS+ Authentication Method)

Security > TACACS+
Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS+) provides centralized
security user access validation. The system supports up-to 5 TACACS+ servers.
TACACS+ provides a centralized user management system, while still retaining
consistency with RADIUS and other authentication processes.
The TACACS+ protocol ensures network integrity through encrypted protocol exchanges
between the client and TACACS+ server. The user-assigned TACACS+ parameters are
applied to newly defined TACACS+ servers. If values are not defined, the system defaults
are applied to the new TACACS+ servers.
1. Log into your switch management page (see
on page 11).
2. Click on Security and click on TACACS+.
3. Review the settings.
•
Server Priority – Enter the TACACS+ Server priority (Highest: 1, Lowest: 5).
• Server IP Address – Enter the TACACS+ Server IP address.
• Server Port – Enter the port number via which the TACACS+ session occurs. The

• Timeout – Enter the amount of time (in seconds) the device waits for an
answer from the TACACS+ server before retrying the query, or switching to the
next server. Possible field values are 1-255. The default value is 5.
